UGANDA - 4 Kenyans Contracts Terminated By Sharing Youth

Sharing Youth Basketball Club in Uganda has terminated contracts for four Kenyans who were part of the team last season.
According to the club, lack of sponsorship forced Sharing Youth to
part ways with Brian Marumbu, Ansalim Onalo, Alex Lugasi, Faustine
Ambrose and Tanzanian Murshid Mudricat.
A communication sent by Sharing Youth Team Manager Ben Lule to the
five players reads: “Wanted to let you know what has been transpiring
with sponsor we, had a meeting with the sponsor on Wednesday and after
we met as Sharing management team yesterday and decided to discuss the
outcome, the sponsor is not going to sponsor us financially this year,
so that means that our budget on running the team will be cut to bare
minimum, we had hoped he would release money by the end February so we
can call you guys to come back but unfortunately he doesn’t have
finances for us now, so we sat down and decided to avoid incurring any
costs, we terminate the contract we have with you as we can not meet the
obligations required and would like to avoid incurring any other costs,
it’s much more fairer to you and us, I thank you for the time taken
with us, and we never saw this coming as we had been told that finances
would be released in February , my sincere apologies to you for what has
transpired” T
